2013 BMW M6

There are fast luxury cars, and then theres the BMW M6 a genuine supercar in a beautifully tailored suit.

Finished in stunning Midnight Blue and sitting purposefully on 20-inch alloy wheels with contrasting blue brake calipers, this 2013 M6 has an understated presence that gives only a hint of the performance lurking beneath the bonnet.

At its heart is BMW Ms sensational 4.4-litre twin-turbocharged V8, producing a formidable 412kW (560hp) and 680Nm of torque. Power is delivered to the rear wheels through BMWs lightning-fast 7-speed M Double Clutch transmission, launching the M6 from 0100km/h in around 4.2 seconds.

And the numbers only tell half the story.

The M6 was engineered as the ultimate high-performance Grand Tourer brutally quick when you want it to be, yet refined, comfortable and remarkably civilised when you dont. Switch through the M driving modes and you can tailor the throttle response, suspension, steering and transmission to suit everything from a relaxed Sunday cruise to a seriously spirited drive.

The wide stance, muscular bodywork, Carbon Fibre Roof and quad exhausts leave you in no doubt this is something special, while that gorgeous Midnight Blue paintwork gives it a far more sophisticated look than the usual black, white or silver examples.

Highlights include:

4.4-litre M TwinPower Turbo V8 412kW / 560hp 680Nm of torque 7-speed M Double Clutch transmission Approx. 4.2 seconds 0100km/h Quad exhaust system Adaptive M suspension Selectable M driving modes

The M6 occupies a rather special place in BMW history. It comes from an era when the M division was still happily putting enormous V8 engines into elegant two-door coups and the result is an intoxicating combination of luxury, theatre and seriously effortless speed.
